Our year four report captures the wide range of activity that took place between 2024-2025 as part of the Creative Places, Edenderry project.

Creative Places, Edenderry was established in September 2021, supported by Arts Council of Ireland/An Comhairle Ealaíon (as part of the national Creative Places programme) and led by Creative Lives, in partnership with Offaly County Council’s Arts Office and the Municipal District of
Edenderry.

• Helped establish an Artists Collective
• Celebrated an Edenderry-based group at the Creative Lives Awards

and much more . . . !
